We enjoy using the charge 6 in our hotel rooms and beach visits. We take it everywhere we can fit it in our luggage. I even carry it in my motorcycle saddlebags for when we stop for a picnic or outing.

This is not our first JBL. Our collection started with a flip 4 then an Xtreme 2. On to 2 clip 5's for the kids and a new flip 5 for the wife. I upgraded to an Xtreme 4 but wanted a little smaller speaker and this charge 6 does not disappoint and is quickly becoming the house's favorite go-to speaker. The highs are great and carries a thump! Battery life is not lacking and it plays all day most days.
All round very impressed

Just picked up the JBL Charge 6 and honestly, I’m well impressed. The sound is way bigger than you’d expect from something you can chuck in a bag. I love the proper deep bass without drowning out the vocals, and it stays clear even when you crank it up. Battery life is ridiculous, I’ve had it on all weekend without needing a charge, and it still had some juice left. Love that it’s waterproof too, I took it to the beach and didn’t have to worry about splashes or sand. Feels solid and well made, not cheap or plasticky, and the Bluetooth connection’s been really steady. It even doubles as a power bank which has saved my phone more than once. For the size, price and the fact it can take a beating, it’s easily the best speaker I’ve owned in this price range. Definitely worth it if you want something portable without compromising on sound.
Beats expectations!

JBL have done it again. The Charge 6 is a powerhouse of a speaker, at a decent size and the battery life exceeds expectations. The sound is nicely balanced. If you're a fan of bass heavy music, I generally find JBL speakers (the Charge 6 included) will keep you happy. The size is great for a portable speaker. If I had to give one negative comment, it would be that the style won't be for everyone. Overall, the build quality lives up to JBL standards and it does all the things a portable speaker should do, just at a level that's better than I expected.
Love that this charge 6 is much louder

I recently purchased the Charge 6 JBL speaker, and I’m beyond impressed. The speaker delivers crisp highs, deep bass. Courtesy of the speaker app, I am able to get my bass combination depending on my mood. The battery also lasts for a long time. The smart Bluetooth pairing also makes it perfect to switch between two devices (my phone and tablet) when playing music or audio. Excellent value for premium audio!

Great sound for such a compact speaker, really didn’t think that it would be sooooo good. The only disappointing feature was that I found marginally disappointing was the app in particular the eq settings which is functional but basic it this was better I would have given a full 5* rating. Worth every penny!!!

Powerful Sound in a Compact Body
4 out of 5 stars

I’ve been using the JBL Charge 6 for a few weeks now, and overall I’m impressed. The speaker punches well above its size in terms of sound quality. For something so compact, the audio is rich, clear, and surprisingly powerful, even at higher volumes. Bass is deep enough to enjoy without distorting the rest of the music, and mids and highs come through cleanly. One thing I really appreciate is how simple it is to use. Powering it on, pairing it with Bluetooth, and controlling playback is completely intuitive, even for someone not tech-savvy. The startup and shutdown tunes are a nice touch, they give it a polished, premium feel and make it easy to tell when it’s on or off. Battery life is solid, easily lasting through a day’s use, and the added power bank feature is handy when I’m out and about. It’s also fairly rugged and water-resistant, which makes it great for outdoor use. The only letdown is the strap. It comes off far too easily, especially if you’re moving the speaker around a lot or using it on the go. I expected it to be more secure, so that’s a bit of a design flaw. That said, this is still a really good little speaker for the price. It’s small, loud, and easy to use. If JBL can improve the strap, it would be nearly perfect. Would definitely recommend it for casual use, travel, or even as a main speaker for a small space.
Awesome sound quality, battery life & personalized

I bought this a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! The personalization feature is amazing! I love how many different aspects could be customized. I just wish the base color could have been changed but it was only giving me the option for white. The personalization matched the picture preview very well. As far as sound quality goes, it’s excellent for the size. And the battery life is very good as well. Will absolutely buy more. My whole family loves it!
Website specs do not tell the truth

The website is misleading. It states that this model has “auracast” and “partyboost” under the specifications. I first thought that maybe the partyboost must be done on the app, but it is not doable at all. JBL is really upsetting a lot of loyal customers by making each new speaker not compatible with a model from last year. Sound is great and battery life is great. Only reason I am giving any stars.

I couldn’t be happier with my JBL Charge 6! The sound quality is just as powerful and crisp as you’d expect from JBL — deep bass, clear highs, and excellent volume for both indoor and outdoor use. But what really sets this one apart is the personalization feature. I customized the design through the JBL Store, and it came out even better than I imagined — vibrant, clean, and totally unique to me. It feels like more than just a speaker; it’s a statement piece. Battery life is outstanding, and the waterproof build gives me peace of mind when using it by the pool or on beach trips. The Bluetooth connection is solid and pairs instantly every time. Highly recommend if you want premium sound and something that reflects your personal style!

The most disappointing thing is that the AUX input has been removed, so you can't connect it to DJ controller through audio cable, and if you connect it through laptop usb you would get an input lag
1 reply from Customer Support team - 29 days ago
Thanks for your feedback. Our JBL Charge series, including the JBL Charge 6, does not feature an auxiliary input. However, the JBL Charge 6 offers our latest "Lossless Audio Playback" feature, which allows you to connect it to your phone or PC using a Type-C cable. If you're looking for a speaker with an auxiliary port, the next versions to look out for are the JBL Xtreme 3 and JBL Boombox 3.

I was gifted this for my honest review, the JBL Charge 6 totally lives up to the hype. The sound is rich, clear, and surprisingly loud for its size, with deep bass that fills the room or outdoor space easily. The battery life is amazing – it easily lasts all day and then some. I love that it also doubles as a power bank to charge my phone. It’s rugged, waterproof, and perfect for taking to the beach, park, or just around the house. JBL nailed it again – an absolute 5-star speaker!
Superb sounding speaker. A Must Buy

I’ve been using the JBL Charge 6 for a bit now, and I’m really happy with it. The sound is loud, clear, and has great bass. Music just sounds better than I expected from a speaker this size. It’s also super tough, if you where to dropped it the case will take the impact well and not affect the speaker. The battery lasts a long time too, like a full day or more, and that’s been perfect for road trips or hanging out outside. Family and friend have done nothing but praise this device. i recently had it out in the garden and had all the kids having a dance and even some of the adults joined in. this is a definitely a must buy if you are looking at an wireless speaker that packs a punch. I also like the extra features. You can change the sound settings in the app to fit your style, and it has this AI mode that makes everything sound stronger without getting all fuzzy at high volume. Overall, it’s a solid speaker and I’d definitely recommend it.
